we are a group of bikers planning to drive along Transalpina in late June.Will the road be fully open at the time and with sufficient concrete surface in your experience?

We have tried to book in Ranca an Hotel but it seems that they are already fully book.

Any suggestion where to sleep?

Ciao

Hello Marco,

First of all you must know that Transalpina officially is closed for traffic between Ranca and Obarsia Lotrului because the rehabilitation works are not finished yet and probably will not be finished this year. Between Ranca and Obarsia Lotrului the road goes 30 km up to 2000 m and it is dangerous to drive because the road has no railings, signs and no road signs. If the weather it is bad the risk is even grater. If an car accident happens is your fault not the authorities, and probably the auto insurance will not compensate you or other car driver because you were on a road officially closed to motor traffic. But you are with the bike and for you the risk is not so big.

It is true that a lot of people are driving on Transalpina road from Novaci to Sibiu or Sebes, but they are doing this on their own risk.You can find the discution in english about this problem here:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2&start=1130

You don't have to sleep at the hotel because there are many hostels in Ranca and also in S of Transalpina route (Horezu) and also in N (Saliste).What it is your plan? Route and days on Transalpina? And how many bikers are in your group?

we are 7/8 bikers.On June 21 st we will depart from Timisoara and we want to reach Ranca to sleep . Than we move towards Transfalgaran and Brasov in the night of 22nd.We tried to contact Hotel NT4 or Hotel Valeamariei but no success.Can you help us?
